As delicate as it is violent and containing as much of Tom Lee′s wit as it does his bite, "Sheer Delight" both comforts and confronts. Lee presents an entirely new body of work, deftly crafted with the particulars of Clough-Hanson Gallery in mind. When confronted by the floor to ceiling windows that occupy a large portion of the walls, Lee joked "I′ll have to make curtains."
